Solar Street Lamp

ABSTRACT

A solar street lamp includes a connecting base configured with a mounting port for mounting the solar street lamp on top of a lamp post. A bottom plate has a rear portion mounted on top of the connecting base, the bottom plate has a lower surface upon which is mounted, in a forward portion of the bottom plate, a plurality of light-emitting modules. A solar panel is supported above the bottom plate and separated from the bottom plate by a distance of a wiring gap space, as meaning approximately a minimal gap needed to permit wiring for interconnections of components on the solar street lamp. A battery stores energy received from the solar panel, and a power supply provides power from the battery to the light-emitting modules. The battery and power supply are mounted below the bottom plate, inside a mounting chamber formed in the connecting base. A rear plug is detachably disposed on a rear edge of the connecting base such that, when attached, the rear plug provides a seal to an opening in the mounting chamber of the connecting base and a rear seal to the wire gap space separating the solar panel and the bottom plate and, when detached, provides an access for maintenance to the power supply and battery mounted in the mounting chamber and permits the solar panel to be withdrawn from the solar street lamp.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/958,710 filed 8 Jan. 2020; said U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/958,710 is incorporated in the entirety herein.

BACKGROUND Field of the Art

The present invention relates to the technical field of illumination, and in particular, to a solar street lamp which can be easily assembled and disassembled.

Discussion of the State of the Art

Typical solar street lamps use solar radiation energy as energy. In this type of street lamp, a solar panel is often used to convert solar energy to charge a battery during the day, and the battery is used to supply power to a light source for lighting at night. However, in a conventional solar street lamp, the battery and power supply of current solar street lamps are usually installed inside a housing. During disassembly, assembly, and replacement, a lift system is usually required for maintenance operations, often at considerable height above the ground. Moreover, the solar panel at the top or the upper housing must be disassembled before being replaced. The solar panel and the upper housing are often large in size, complicated in disassembly and assembly, and troublesome in operation. As a result, the efficiency of disassembly, assembly, and replacement of the lamp is adversely affected and the risk is increased for maintenance operations typically occurring at considerable height above ground level.

SUMMARY

The present invention provides a solar street lamp which can be disassembled and assembled easily and which provides easy access to the battery and power supply.

The present invention is also appealing because the front end of the solar street lamp that has the light emitting elements is thin because the battery and power supply are not mounted in the space between the solar panel and a bottom plate supporting the light emitting elements. Instead, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the battery and power supply are mounded in a mounting chamber space between the bottom plate supporting the light emitting elements and the fixture used as a connecting base to mount the solar street lamp on top of a support pole or post. Additionally, maintenance efficiency of the solar street lamp is improved because the disassembly, assembly, and replacement of the battery and the power supply can be conducted after simply opening a rear plug that allows access to the mounting chamber supporting the battery and power supply and that allows the solar panel to be slipped out if required for a maintenance procedure.

In one embodiment, the connecting base is further comprised to have an access port for the mounting chamber such that the rear plug configured for sealing the back area of the wire gap space is further configured to seal the access port for the mounting chamber such that removing the rear plug provides an access to the mounting chamber of the connecting base for servicing the battery and power supply.

FIG. 4 shows a view looking at the front end of the solar street lamp after the front plug has been detached from the solar street lamp.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, as perhaps best demonstrated by FIG. 2, the inventive apparatus may be comprised of the following elements: a bottom plate 1 that supports the light-emitting modules 4, a solar panel 2, a connecting base 3 that is used to mount the solar street lamp onto, for example, a pole or post (not shown in the figures) using the mounting hole 19 located on the bottom side of the connecting base 3, light-emitting modules 4, a battery 5 and a power supply 6, a control module 18 for controlling brightness of the light emitted from the light-emitting modules 4, a front plug 9 and a rear plug 7, as well as connecting side bars 8, each connecting side bar 8 including first slots 10 and second slots 11 (see FIG. 4) for supporting the edges of the solar panel 2 and the bottom plate 1.

In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the solar panel 2 may be mounted above the bottom plate 1 with a gap as configured between the solar panel 2 and the bottom plate 1 to accommodate interconnecting wiring, referred to herein as the wire gap (the wiring is not shown in the figures). Since one having ordinary skill in the art understands that wiring for devices such as the solar street lamp of the present invention involves relative small wiring size, it should be clear that the combination of the solar panel 2 and bottom plate 1 provides a relatively thin structure. The light-emitting modules 4 are fixedly mounted at a lower surface of the bottom plate 1, in a forward portion of the bottom plate 1. It is noted that the term “forward portion” or “front” refers to the portion of the bottom plate 1 on the right side in FIG. 1, so that the term “rear end portion” or “aft portion” of the bottom plate 1 refers to the portion on the left side of the figure.

The connecting base 3 is used to mount the solar street lamp on top of a mounting pole (not shown in the figures). The upper end of the connecting base 3 connects with a rear end portion of the bottom plate 1, to thereby provide support for the bottom plate 1. The connecting base 3 is configured to include a mounting chamber in which the battery 5 and the power supply 6 are mounted as being inside the connecting base 3 and below the bottom plate 1. This technique of mounting the battery 5 and power supply 6 below the bottom plate 1 permits the solar panel 2 to be minimally separated from the light-emitting modules 4 to provide the thin appearance of the front end of the solar street lamp of the present invention and described herein as approximately thickness of a wire gap size.

The connecting base 3 includes a mounting port 19 disposed at its bottom side, facing away from the bottom plate 1, and used to mount the solar street lamp onto a mounting pole or post. Rear plug 7 is detachably disposed on the rear side of the connecting base 3 and serves as a seal for the upper side of connecting base 3 when attached and, when detached from the connecting base 3, permits easy access to the battery 5 and power supply 6 mounted inside the connecting base 3 for purpose of maintenance, replacement, or repair. A switch button 20 for controlling the power supply 6 may be disposed on the rear plug 7. The rear plug 7 also serves as a rear seal for the wire gap space between the bottom plate 1 and the solar panel 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the aft or rear portion of the bottom plate 1 can be fastened to the top surface of the connecting base 3 using fasteners such as screws (not shown in the figures) and the mounting holes 21 formed in the aft portion of the bottom plate 1 that correspond to a matching pattern of screw holes 22 in the upper surface of the connecting base 3. The exploded view in FIG. 2 also shows that, once the rear plug 7 is detached, the solar panel 2 could then slide in the aft direction in its supporting groove 11 in the two connecting side bars 8.

As exemplarily shown in FIG. 3 showing exemplary details of the bottom plate 1 in the front area where the light-emitting elements are mounted, wire holes 23, a wiring gap 24, and the mounting chamber 25 are formed in the bottom plate 1. With the adoption of the wiring gap 24 as the dimension for separation of the bottom plate 1 and the solar panel 2, the arrangement of interconnecting wires is facilitated. One end of each wire of the interconnecting wires is connected with one of the light-emitting modules 4 through the wire holes 23, and the other end of the wires are connected with the power supply 6 through the wire holes 23. It is again noted that one of ordinary skill understands the term “wiring gap” as referring to a predetermined gap size relative to the diameter of wires being used in a specific application, with an intent to keep the gap size 24 as minimal in view of laying out the interconnecting wires to the intended destinations, and one of ordinary skill would recognize that the gap size 24 is approximately two or three times the width of the wire holes 23. It is also noted that, for sake of simplicity, no wires are shown in the figures but one of ordinary skill would recognize that wires are used to interconnect the solar panel 2, the battery 5, the power supply 6, and the light-emitting modules 4. By mounting the battery 5 and the power supply 6 in the mounting chamber between the connecting base 3 and the bottom plate 1, no large space is required to be disposed between the bottom plate 1 and the solar panel 2 for mounting the battery 5 and the power supply 6 as is common in conventional designs.

As seen in FIG. 2, in one exemplary embodiment of the inventive apparatus, the solar street lamp may include two connecting bars 8, used to support the side edges of the solar panel 2 and base plate 1, and a front plug 9, used to support the front edges of the solar panel 2 and base plate 1. The bottom plate 1 and the solar panel 2 may be rectangular or square plate bodies that are parallel to each other by reason of being mounted in the grooves 10, 11 of the connecting bars 8. The two connecting bars 8 are disposed at the two sides of the bottom plate 1 respectively, for sealing openings at two sides of the wiring gap. The front plug 9 is disposed at the front end of the bottom plate 1, and the front plug 9 and the rear plug 7 also therefore seal openings at the front and rear ends of the wiring gap space separating the base plate 1 and solar panel 2.

Additionally, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the sides of the two connecting bars 8 are formed to include first slots 10 into which side edges of the bottom plate 1 are inserted. The front plug 9 and the rear plug 7 may abut against and limit two ends of the bottom plate 1 respectively. By inserting the two side edges of the bottom plate 1 into the first slots 10 in the two connecting bars 8, and clamping and limiting the two ends of the bottom plate 1 with the front plug 9 and the rear plug 7, the mounting of the bottom plate 1 is realized. This configuration provides a mounting structure that is stable and that is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In some exemplary embodiments, the aft end of the bottom plate 1 can have holes 21 for mounting the bottom plate 1 securely to the top surface of the connecting base 3, using, for example, screws that thread into corresponding threaded holes 22 in the top surface of the connecting base 3.

As further seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, second slots 11 are also formed in the connecting bars 8, into which side edges of the solar panel 2 are inserted. The front plug 9 and the rear plug 7 abut against and limit the two ends of the solar panel 2 respectively. By inserting the two side edges of the solar panel 2 into the second slots 11 in the two connecting bars 8 and clamping and limiting the two ends of the solar panel 2 with the front plug 9 and the rear plug 7, the mounting of the solar panel 2 is realized.

FIG. 1 illustrates that the front plug 9 and the rear plug 7 are configured to fit into a connection that threads with the two ends of the connecting bars 8, respectively. Connecting holes are formed in the connecting bars 8 and penetrate through in length directions of the connecting bars 8, so that hole positions for mounting the front plug 9 and the rear plug 7 are formed in the two ends of the connecting bars 8.

FIGS. 1 and 3 show an exemplary embodiment of the light-emitting modules 4. For purposes of explanation, this light-emitting module example uses a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as a light source. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the invention disclosed herein is not limited to the use of LEDs as a light source and is not limited to any LED-related components. In one exemplary embodiment of the inventive apparatus, as shown in FIG. 2, the light-emitting module 4 may include a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 12, a plurality of LED chips 13 mounted on the PCB 12, and a lens 14 mounted in front of the PCB 12.

FIG. 3 further illustrates the exemplary embodiment of the light-emitting module by illustrating that a limiting frame 15 may be fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the bottom plate 1. A mounting groove 16 is configured between the limiting frame 15 and the bottom plate 1. The PCBs 12 and the lenses 14 are disposed in the mounting grooves 16. The edges of the lenses 14 fit with bottom surfaces of the mounting grooves 16. Glue filling gaps 17 are formed between the lenses 14 and the mounting grooves 16, wherein the glue filling gaps 17 are filled with glue and the glue coats the edges of the lenses 14 so that the lenses 14 are fixedly mounted in the mounting grooves 16. By filling in the glue filling gaps 17 with the glue and allowing the glue to coat the edges of the lenses 14, gaps between the lenses 14 and the mounting grooves 16 are sealed, and the lenses 14 are fixed to the bottom plate 1 without adopting bolts or screws for fixing the lenses so that the operation is convenient, the production efficiency is high, and the effects of improving the sealing and possible waterproofing properties of the light-emitting modules 4 are achieved. The limiting frame 15 is used to control the disbursement of the glue and thereafter the glue is solidified and formed in the glue filling gap, and the structural strength of the filling glue is improved, so that the usage amount of the glue is reduced, and the production cost is lowered.

Although filling glue is described above as a means of mounting the lenses, other ways of attaching the mounting lenses and other components may be used as would be readily apparent and understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art.

FIGS. 1 & 2 illustrate a control module 18 which is disposed on the connecting base 3 and that is configured to automatically control the light emission brightness of the light emitting module 4. When no person or other object passes an area covered by the solar street lamp, the light emitting modules 4 may produce relatively low illumination brightness or may even not emit any light at all. When a person or other object passes into an area covered by the solar street lamp, the light emitting modules 4 are then controlled to automatically increase the illumination brightness.

One exemplary embodiment of the control module 18 includes a microwave emitter, a microwave inductor, an arithmetic comparator, and a control circuit which is connected with the light emitting modules 4. The microwave emitter can generate a microwave that reaches a substantial and reasonable distance and it may be able to generate a substantial and reasonable elliptical microwave coverage area which may be adjusted in an axial direction by a micro-loop antenna. When the person or other object passes into the coverage area, return waves emitted by the microwave emitter change by interfering with original microwave frequency generated by the microwave inductor, such that a variable quantity may be detected, amplified, shaped, and subjected to multiple comparison and delayed time processing by the arithmetic comparator and then is output to form a control signal. The control circuit receives the control signal to control the brightness of a light-emitting module 4, so that the purpose of electric power conservation is achieved.

FIG. 1 illustrates the mounting hole 19 in the connecting base 3, where the mounting hole 19 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting base 3 to connect with, for example, a lamp post. The mounting hole 19 may be angled between an axis of the mounting hole 19 and a bottom surface of the bottom plate 1, so that after the installation of the solar street lamp, no angle adjustment is required to have the light-emitting elements 4 in a desired orientation relative to the desired area of illumination, and the installation is stable.

The inventive apparatus may be varied in shape, size, and composition as would be readily apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the scope of the invention.

As would be understood from the entirety of the disclosure, the examples provided herein are merely considered to illustrative for the inventive apparatus. The invention disclosed herein is not limited to the aforementioned elements, components, configurations or processes, and modification or equivalent replacements may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. It should also be noted that the inventive apparatus may be configured to accommodate the specific needs of a user and varying the apparatus from the disclosure herein will not depart from the scope of the invention.
